You have the right to talk about your union—and your working conditions—on work time.
As long as it doesn’t interfere with your job duties, short union-related conversations are protected under state and federal labor law. That includes:
- Talking about upcoming meetings or actions
- Answering co-workers’ questions
- Sharing updates from your rep or bargaining team
- Organizing with fellow members
You also have the right to display your union pride:
- Post union materials on workplace bulletin boards
- Keep union stickers or signs in your office or vehicle
- Add a union logo to your email signature
- Use a union logo as your Outlook or Zoom profile photo
- Set a union-themed background in video calls
- Wear union gear at work
- Have a uniform? Ask us for a patch, a button, a hat, or another method to display union support while also complying with your uniform requirements.
Need to have a longer conversation? You can also use your 30-minute lunch and two paid 15-minute breaks to talk about union topics, meet with coworkers, or make plans.
It’s your union. You have the right to speak up, show up, and stand together.
